Huddersfield-based Yorkshire Country Properties (YCP) has strengthened its senior sales team with four key appointments.
It comes hard on the heels of the appointment of Paul Brown as Managing Director.
The accomplished team comprises: Sam McGregor, Sam Baldaro, Kate Carter and Kirsty Watts.
Head of sales is Sam McGregor, who said: “Clearly, the current state of the housing market presents challenges, but we are confident that the quality of our houses combined with the enthusiasm and commitment of our wonderful team here at YCP will enable us to continue to deliver the kind of homes that are needed across all demographics in Yorkshire. I am so proud to be working with an exceptional sales team.”
Sam Baldaro has joined Yorkshire Country Properties from Vistry (formerly known as Bovis) for seven years and she has worked with numerous leading housebuilders for the past 15 years.
“My role at YCP is to oversee the sales progression for all of our purchasers, being the main point of contact and guiding them through the legal and financial process. I’m on hand to ensure their journey from placing their reservation through to legal completion and moving into their new home is as smooth and seamless as possible.
“The market has been hugely unstable over the last 12 months with rises in interest rates and decreasing valuations. We are in a very strong position though, we have some very popular developments which offer a premium build and attractive living spaces, this serves us well with the current conditions.
“Recently we have seen a leap in customer enquiries and lenders have started to reduce their interest rates, which is hopefully the sign of a more predictable time.”
Meanwhile Kate Carter has a background in student, professional and commercial property management, sales and lettings and previously lived and worked in Manchester city centre, while Kirsty Watts, who is from Sheffield, has a wealth of experience in customer service.
Paul Brown said: “This talented new sales team is committed to making YCP the very best housebuilder in West Yorkshire. Their experience and expertise will prove invaluable and I am very lucky and proud to have such an excellent team to support me in growing our company and achieving our targets.”
